Beautiful Shots, how did you get the green so vibrant?? The reason I ask is I love this type of Photography, I am looking to do it with water.

JonMikal · Aug 1, 2005

steal my title then blow me away with your classic 'NZ' shots. that's just wrong!

mentos_007 · Aug 1, 2005

yeah it's unfair Vonn!!!! I posted a picture here too and I was inspired by some of your previous shots and what?! You posted some waaaaay better ones pffffff

Ok now you have to reveal your secret: what do you do that your pictures have so neat colours?

"Cabbage trees" looks like Middle Earth. :shock:

No wonder they shot the dang movie there! It looks totally unreal.

Good action, matey! :thumbup:

"Cabbage trees" looks like Middle Earth.

It actually looks alot better full size as well. this is actually a secret area i've found (call it Kiwi Area 51 :lol:

), its taken near where one of the scenes from lotr was taken. its a blinder of a region but my battery ran out before i could finish the shots.

Ok now you have to reveal your secret: what do you do that your pictures have so neat colours?

I spend a long time adjusting the colours, saturation via layers and adjustment layers. No two photos are quite the same, i don't have any one particular technique or 'magic bullet' that will do it. just work it, baby ;-)

hahaha, i think thats the quickest response i've gotten to my photos in the longest time. this identity theft stuff seems to be working- so watchout jonmikal!

Super pics. I love the "painting" look.
Pls post your saturation technique if you find the time.

eh, they're okay...

What am I saying!? Love these! I'll have to play around with some of my photos in PS to try to get that look. Can you eat the cabbage?
